HOG WATERER,

Application filed July 26, 1926. Serial No. 125,088.

provided with perforated partitions 11 adjacent its ends which form settling chambers at the ends of the pan which are exposed when th-e'lids 3 are raised. Thus the animals drink from these chambers and any mud or dirt *ashing oil the mouths oi the animals while drinking will be confined in the chambers by he partitions 11. This mud or dirt will settle to the bottoms of the chambers and by removing the plugs 12 in the openings 13 formed in the bottoms of the chambers, the chambers can be cleaned without difliculty. The mud and water passing through the holes 13 will fall upon the chutesl l in the casing which discharge the material through the holes 15 formed in one side of the casing. These holes are closed by the slides 16. A dome 17 extends into the central part of the pan, with its bottom open and a tube 18 is inclinedly arranged in the dome, with its ends in communication with the pan so that some of the water in the pan will pass into the't-ube. Burners 19, of any suitable construction,

This invention relates to a device, for watering hogs and other animals, the gen .eral object of the invention being to provide means for heating the water in cold weather 5 such a manner that the water will be kept at a certain temperature with they minimum an'iount of fuel.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide the tank with settling chambers from which the animals drink, and which are provided with drain holes whereby the chambers can be easily cleaned.

A further objectof the invention is to provide automatic means for keeping the water in the tank at a certain level.

This invention also consists in certain other features oi. construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described,

ii illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

in describing my invention in detail, reterence will be had to the accompanying 2 drawings wherein like characters denote like are placed in the casing directly under the or corresponding parts throughout the sevtube 18 so that said tube will be highly eral views, and in which heated by the burners and thus a circulation Figure 1 is a front view of the device of the water in the pan will be set up by the showing one of the lids in raised position. heating of the water in the tube. As the Fi 2 i a year i f th de ic pan is of less dimensions than the casing,

Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of Figsome of the heat from the burners will come ure 4 in contact with the sides of the pan as well Figure 4 is a plan view with the lids reas the bottom so that the water in the moved, pan will be heated by this heat as well as by the heat imparted to the tube 18 and the dome. The heat will finally escape through the vertical passage 20 formed at one side ure 3.

In these views, 1 indicates a casing which has its top open, said top being normally closed by a box-like cover 2, which is of less will finally escape through the opening 21 in the top of the cover and which is controlled by a slide 22. The water will be further heated by the heat passing through the passage 20 and by passing over the surface of the water as it enters the spaces above the water in the pan.

Access to the burners is had through the door 23 in one side of the casing and air is admitted to the casing to support combustion through the opening 2% in said door which is controlled by the slide 25. A deflector 26 is arranged on the inner 'face of the door to prevent the air entering through the opening 24 from coming in direct contact with the flames of the burners, which might blow them out.

A supply pipe 27 is arranged to lead water of which is hinged to each end of the cover 2 and encloses an end part of the casing, it being seen that the cover 2 is arranged in the center of the casing. This cover 2 is hinges 4 and it is held in closed position by the hasps 5 engaging the staples 6 at the other side of the casing. A rod 7 passes thr ugh the staples to hold the hasps in locking position. Hooks 8 are arranged on top of the cover to engage eyes on the lids 3 to hold said lids in raised position. A tank or pan 9 is arranged in the casing and has its flange 1O engaging the upper edges of the casing so that the top of the casing is flush with the top of the pan. The pan of the pan into the cover 2 and this heat,

llli) into the pan and the supply of water is automatically controlled by means of the. valve 28 and the float 29 which operates the valve in the usual manner.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that by opening the lids 3, the animals can have access to the settling chambers. These chambers act to confine any dirt dropping into the pan from contaminating the water in the main body of the pan and this dirt can be easily removed through the drain openings in the bottoms of the chambers. The arrangement of the heating means permits the water to be kept at a warm temperature with the minimum amount of "fuel and the supply of water is automatically controlled by the float operated valve. The cover E2 protects the working parts at the center of the pan and can be readily removed when access to these parts is desired.

at is thought "from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

1. A watering device comprising a casing, a pan therein having its side walls spaced iromthe side walls of the casing with a pas sage for connecting the lower space of the casing with the space above the pan, a dome stool; to drink from a portion of the pan.

2. A watering device comprising a casing,

a pan having a flange at its top resting upon the upper edge of the casing, with the sides of the pan spaced from the inner walls of the casing, a dome at the center of the pan,

an inclinedly arranged tube passing through i the dome with its ends incommunication with the pan, said pan having a vertical passage therein, heating means in the easing arranged directly under the tube, the products of combustion and heated air coming in contact with the bottom and sides of the pan and with the domeand passing through the passage to contact with the water in the pan, a cover for the central partof the casing having an opening therein for the out-let of the heated air, lids hinged to the cover for covering the end portions of the pan and a door in the casing for providing access to the heating means.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
